Liverpool player, Mohamed Salah has
welcomed Nigerian Minister of
Communications and Digital Economy,
Honourable Dr Isa Pantami at Cairo Airport.
Pantami is currently in Egypt on an official
working visit.
Pantami last week insisted the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC) must work out modalities to reduce the price of
data in the interest of Nigerians.
TheNation reports that Pantami said his
office has been inundated with complaints
from concerned Nigerians about the high
cost of data by telecoms.
The Minister mandated the management of
the NCC led by its Board Chairman, Senator
Olabiyi Durojaiye, during a courtesy visit to
work out the modalities with other stakeholders in the industry in the next five
working dates.
The Minister said:
” I am urging the management of NCC to work towards reducing the price of data in Nigeria. It is too costly and people are complaining every day.If you go to other countries, even countries that are not as largely populated as Nigeria, data prices are not this high. I am also a victim of some of the infractions that are so common in the industry. You load your data, but you barely used 20 percent of it and the entire data is wiped off.”
